JUST WHAT IS THAT BIG STONE ?

With the new Boardwalk in place many more people are visiting

the big stone on the warren, so what is it?

The granite stone is a monument to the men of the Cloughey

Lifeboat who risked their lives to save those in peril on the sea.

The monolith was erected in 2001 to mark the 175th Aniversary

of the foundation of the RNLI. It shows from the bottom the 

passage of time from the Lifeboat having to be rowed out to sea

to the modern time when motorized Lifeboats replaced the older

rowed craft. The Lifeboat station in Cloughey was closed but during 80 years of service the Lifeboat was called out on one

hundred and fifty two rescue missions on which a total of

three hundred and eleven lives were saved. Our history of

Cloughey web page goes into some detail of the work of the Lifeboat.
